ZIP 08641 in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
ZIP 08641 is a small town in Burlington County, New Jersey, with 4,491 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #443 of 598 ranked by population — larger than 25% of them. The median age here is 24.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.
Households in ZIP 08641 earn a median of $79,423 a year, 1.1% above the national figure of $78,538. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 2.9% of residents here, less than half the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in ZIP 08641 is valued at not published, while median gross rent runs $2,426 a month, 72.5% above the national figure, or roughly $29,112 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 36.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. 2.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
A median age of 24.4 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.
The Census withheld home value for ZIP 08641 because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
